hi class can you show me how to prove that AnB=BnA ... im trying to do it but i don't understurd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this Commutative multiplication or what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are A,n and B? Numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an n which is between A AND B is the intersection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, sets...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and B are sets of numbers while n is representing intersection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, used to the upside down U

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So u want to show that if the two circles change places, the intersection stays the same, is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to say this strikes me as being rather obvious, I guess that is not what u want though. Assume there is a set C, subset of A and subset of B, containing all the elements common to A and to B then A n B = C and B n C = C Is that any good?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i never got it at first .the meaning of the intersection .but what you have said i can relate the with the once on the book now .thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let x b contained in A or B (BY DEFINATION OF UNIONS) this means is equivalent BuA (BY COMMUTATIVE LAW)
